1
Joy to the world! the Lord will come!
And earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare him room,
And Saints and angels sing.
2
Rejoice! rejoice! when Jesus reigns,
And Saints their songs employ:
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.
3
No more will sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He’ll come and make the blessing flow
Far as the curse was found.
4
Rejoice! rejoice! in the Most High,
While Israel spread abroad,
Like stars that glitter in the sky,
And ever worship God.
